Get one of those new Line 6 Catalyst amps. It will do you just fine for now, and if you want to upgrade your sound later, you can throw a Sesh 400 in front of it to make it sound more like a Peavey. ...

Bill Ferguson I think uses XR16 in his Carter, and he always sounds good. I have XR16 in my Zum D10 and love them.

I just got a Sesh 400 along with a TT15/Tone Block 202 Quilter to use for the amp. I'm used to setting the mid shift on a N400 at 800hz for humbuckers and 300hz for single coils. This thing has no n ...

This version is a little easier and possibly more accurate.

Color me newbie and confused

I went through the same confusion. The answer is "it depends on who wrote the tabs".

I am trying to set up my new ZumSteel D10 to be the most "ergo" possible. I don't believe any brand of pedal steel was built for my body size.

On the rare occasions when I want that, I use a Sub'n'Up octave pedal. It's cheating, I know, but it does sound really good.

Having just gone through this myself about 3 times lately buying steels, here's my thoughts.

It was easy enough to count that he had 8 pedals on the Rains d10.

Does anybody know David's D10 setup? I'm trying to copy it myself, but can't figure out how he possibly fits the P5 changes for the E9 on the same pedal used for P5 on C6 without creating a very hard ...

Iâ€™m interested. Pm sent.

The obvious thing about it is that it is 6 strings and not the standard 10.

Whether this matters to you or not is completely up to you. Do you think you can re-train from a 6 to 10 when the time c ...

A pedal is a common combo with the E-raise lever, and B-Pedal is common with E-lower lever. The Emmons setup works pretty well with both of these scenarios with both on the left side of the guitar.

Roger Crawford gave you a pretty good and concise list since you said you can't work on 100 songs.

You need to contact Dennis Detweiler on the forum. He knows everything about fixing up these old 12 string MSA guitars.

I had emailed Doug earlier, but wasn't sure if he actively checked the forum so I went ahead and posted this. Doug did get back with me and told me what I need to know.

The spacers are a great innovation. Makes tuning a lot smoother compared to rubbing up against the changer holes.

I realize you are new to the PSG world, but most of the stuff in our world is custom stuff. It's not like you can walk into Guitar Center and find what you need. Good luck!

I'm not that new to t ...

I wouldn't mess with them. If there is not a problem, don't try to fix what ain't broken.

If not being able to fit a tuning tool in there to get the thing in tune ain't broken, then what is?

Jerry you seem to know the details of the Mullen. What would help me a lot while I'm at this is to get those aluminum spacers in a very slightly smaller diameter than what I have on there now. I ha ...
